GENTLE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REMINDERS
HIGH SCHOOL AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Catholic high school acceptance letters and awards have been mailed by the high schools recently. Judging from the large numbers of students who have high scores, we expect a good number of students to receive scholarships and awards. We will be informed of some, but not all of them. We would like to share in your celebration and extend our congratulations, but we need you to give us that information. Please send us a copy of award and scholarship letters when you receive them.
Covid 19 Cases in your Family?
If Covid 19 affects your family, we ask that you contact our school nurse, Mrs. Kathy Reder at kreder@saintischool.org.
Please let her know if someone in your family has tested positive or that they have been
quarantined due to exposure to the virus. This information will help us track how prevalent it is in our community and plan for the future of your child's education.

With the preschool entrance being located in this area, more cars are parking here for dismissal at the end of the day. We ask that every driver pull into a designated parking spot and park.

ENRICHMENT NEWS
NEW VIDEO SERIES FOR ST. IGNATIUS FAMILIES!
There are many reasons that the time is right to dig deeper into God’s vision for family life, so we can answer questions like:
**What does it mean to be a family, especially a Christian family?
**How do we set our family priorities?
**What should our family routines be?
**Do everyday things like food, exercise, finances, chores, technology, and personalities have anything to do with our Catholic faith?
These are questions that Brad Macke in our Evangelization and Catechesis parish office is setting out to answer in a new St. Ignatius weekly video series called Family, Become What You Are! Access the videos here on our website: http://bit.ly/FamilyBecomeVideoSeries.
